Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 09, 2010

Ya think?

Ah, so that is why the pirate ships are so close together in Pirates of the Caribbean, the ride!

The snow forts are fine – your arms are too short!

Too far apart, I think so too! Closer, closer now…

But it’s safer that way.

Hay looks like we’re having spam for breakfast ! This bleeep ad has popped up in six strips so far… whos the spammer with the loose grasp of language English?

That’s why they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Don’t move too close, Calvin. Hobbes has long arms and a wicked aim.

Calvin, you are just fine in case Hobbes turns on you!

I wonder if this spam is related to the expired ssl certificate for this site?

Re: Bikini Gone and soon to be forgotten.

I’ve been going through the entire site and flagging the spam. He’s hit almost every strip.

Calvin, its about time you made a steam catapult !

Calvin, you need to come out to attack. May be you can run back before Hobbes gets into his act.

At least that will be fun instead of just sitting inside your fort.

Maybe the fort idea is not so good at all .. it should just be plain fight it out .. dont ya think? (though am sure Hobbes would come out winning that way .. )

what a damp squib….

Try a Trebuchet

\\//_

These spammers have been hitting USAToday and the Miami Herald for months.

Time for the snow catapult Calvin…

go get cybil’s RPG, that should reach!

anool, when did you ever see a “steam” catapult? I’m surprize cal doesn’t have a snowball catapult. what a waste of good snowballs. spammers….who needs hand bags in a cartoon forum?

It’s time for a CHARGE, Calvin.

calvin forgot to practice throwing over summer, that’s probably why he can’t reach hobbs

or maybe the walls of the fort are too high and they have to throw the snowballs up at an arc

The best laid plans … .

Or is it “layed”

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:13

Time to settle things with a duel….snowballs at 2 paces.

You’d think that, after making all those creepy snowmen that Calvin would have more arm strength! Presuming that the failed projectiles in front of Hobbe’s fort were his and that Calvin is approx. 4 feet tall, Calvin doesn’t seem to be able to throw further than ~14 feet.

You need to work on that fastball, guy!

But it looks like Hobbes, from a panel several days earlier, can throw a 75 MPH fastball snowball at least a good 25 feet. Maybe Calvin should be thankful that Hobbes appears to be having either a bad day or mercy.

Calvin, try Sophie’s rocket science! That should close the gap!

The way I throw I’m as good as Calvin. And I’m rt handed and with my poor sore poppin rt shoulder worse. Monday I will be having surgery but still I will never throw anything that great.

The ones who talk about bikini spamming where I work at fortunatly they watch out for that they will get rid of whoever. But I wish to give thanks to the ones who flaged bikini as I have enough problems with internet virus. They’re saying it’s been on all gocomics sites. This is suppose to be a safe site and funny site for all. So goaway virus.

I can’t believe it! A God quotation was actually thrown in here for this comic too. LMFO! Zippy007 you are some nut case!

I haven’t seen the spam :-) unless you mean Zippy with the Bible quote…

I haven’t seen the spam. I guess it got flagged off earlier. I don’t get any ads with my subscription.

Where’s Suzie when you need her?

I got an assignment in physics class, were we had to find a picture that shows physics in some way, and explain the physics behind it.

I used this strip.

I haven’t seen any Spam either…maybe it’s not getting through to Macs.

I’m all for Zippy007’s quote, it’s just not apropos to this strip in any way.

Zippy007 , try this one instead:

(1 Kings 20:11 NKJV) So the king of Israel answered and said, “Tell him, ‘Let not the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off.’ “

A couple of snowball master blasters would fix that problem right away!

There have been a lot of self promoters and sales spam going on lately on this site. I flag all of it. Don’t click their links. You could end up on infected pages. Just report it so they can remove the accounts.

So Zippy posted a quote that he believes relates to the strip. Leave him alone. Who cares??? It doesn’t require the insulting, hate revolt that happened April 7th.

Nice job Dogsniff.

As usual, BlueCrystalTopaz jumped right in with the God insults, and calling people names, while you know she has the coexist bumper sticker on her car, below the stick on inverted pentagram.

I missed my comics earlier this week so I wasn’t here for the hate fest… but I have to say MrsLukeSkywalker has a very good point.

There are far too many people in the world who feel the need to insult anyone who does not believe the same things that they do. I realize that the atheists are not the only ones who do this, but they seem to be the ones who post here.

As for the Bible quote… even if you do not believe it to be the word of God, it is still a good book and has influenced our civilization greatly.

Read April 7th’s Calvin comments, Maizing. They also had to try to kill the Easter spirit all over the site. .

Hi, can I play too?

Apparently, neither Calvin nor Hobbes has a snowball’s chance in you-know-where of hitting the other.

That would be fustrating…

Well, DUH And why in strips like these does Hobbes normally stay quiet?

“So far apart, they say we’re so far apart and that we haven’t the right to change our destiny” Two Different Worlds - Don Rondo (1956) Both he who heeds and he who doesn’t heed the scriptures won’t change their destinies but will confirm them.

This cartoon gives new meaning to the phrase “Take your best shot”….Have a great weekend, folks. God Bless. KHP

Kab Buch Good luck with your shoulder surgery on Monday. I hope that you heal quickly!

Calvin always thinks BIG

My response to this strip is: And….

I seem to be more interested in the spam trap and how to avoid it. and what is it, anyway. I’m old and new to all of this. If I infect the computer that everyone uses, I’m toast.

maybe they need bigger arms hah ha

How long did it take for them to notice?

Some one might say (but not me) that they throw like girls. But there are some girls with better throwing arms than the boys!

@ bluetopazcrystal No need for name calling here. The reference at least refers to the joke in the strip: the need to be closer.

Re: WSJordan Here we go again!

Dang… why is there so much rotten spam on here lately? Has it always been and I just never noticed?

They cannot throw snowballs very far.
